IC401498 - TBIPS - A.7 Programmer Analyst - Level 2 & 3 - CA GEN

CIPO IT IMPLEMENTATION OF A PATENT LAW TREATY (PLT)Wide reaching changes are required to the main Patent system as the PLT harmonizes the rules and processing of patent applications among member countries. The major areas of change concern the minimum application requirements which can be requested at the time of filing to establish a filing date.Currently, applicants cannot secure a filing date without paying a fee; under the PLT, the fee will no longer be required for the purpose of securing a filing date. In addition, the PLT makes it possible for the applicant, not just a patent agent, to pay the maintenance fees for both applications and patents. System changes are not only required at the step of the original filing but also at later steps impacting other areas of the patent processing system.SCOPE OF WORK / KEY ACTIVITIESThe CA Gen Programmer Analysts Level 2 and Level 3 will be required to design, develop, test and de-ploy new application and /or component artifacts developed using CA Gen model-based development software.
